But rather than focusing on the four episodes that it launched with, consumers should instead focus on what’s coming down the pike later this year.© Copyright Games Workshop Limited 2022. It’s a tool for learning more about the hobby, a database of sorts for lore, and a drip feed of really good cartoons.
Warhammer plus plus#
Overall, Warhammer Plus has value, but not for what it launched with. It’s an excellent add-on - especially considering that it alone cost users $4.99 a month when it launched last year. Called Warhammer 40,000: The App, it’s been available for some time as a subscription.

Warhammer 40,000: The AppĪlso part of the Warhammer Plus subscription at launch is a handy dandy little army-building app, available for iOS and Android devices. The standout is issue 458, which includes an abbreviated Codex for the Tome Keepers chapter of Space Marines, a homebrew faction dreamed up by the magazine’s staff. It’s a nice touch, as they include lots of content for a host of different games. There’s also 10 back issues of White Dwarf itself, dating back to January 2020. There’s also 30 issues of Warhammer: Visions, a lavish magazine now out of print that’s filled with excellent photography by the team at White Dwarf. Right now, it mostly features fluff - lore books that inform readers about settings and important events in the universes of Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar. It’s a curated collection of digital print materials. Warhammer Vault is another offering included with Warhammer Plus. It’s a strange choice, and I’m hoping to hear back from GW on whether or not that’s the intended functionality. Also of note is the fact that the iOS app has an option to download most shows (not Angels of Death, however), but you can’t actually play them back without an internet connection of some kind. The only issues I had, like I mentioned above, were with Angels of Death and that nasty, nasty artifacting and compression. It also runs well out of my browsers in Windows 10. The iOS app that I used has built-in hooks for casting to my TV, and my colleagues with Roku smart TVs got things up and running with that platform’s native app with no problem.
Warhammer plus tv#
Technically speaking, my experience with Warhammer TV was pretty good. The only upside, in my opinion, is Toby Longworth - the same voice actor who reads the audiobook versions of the Eisenhorn trilogy and the Gaunt’s Ghosts novels - who handles the introductory narration. The lighting and costuming also does the hosts absolutely no favors. Why on Earth there aren’t more shots down at table level, showing off these beautifully painted miniatures, is an absolute mystery. The majority of the program is shot from directly overhead, and it spends most of its time zoomed in on dice being rolled. But the camera work leaves much to be desired. The service launched with two hour-long episodes, one each for Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar, both featuring miniatures from the most recent collector’s edition boxed sets.
